ICAS Assessments

This year, we are again pleased to offer our Years 5 and 6 students the opportunity to sit the ICAS English, Writing, Mathematics and Science Assessments. This is optional and parents/carers are required to sign their son up.

These challenging competitions present real-world scenarios where students are assessed on their ability to apply classroom learning to new contexts, using higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills. You can learn more about the ICAS Assessments at the following site: https://www.icasassessments.com/products-icas.

Parents/carers are invited to register and pay for their son to participate in either or all assessments by completing the following:

1. Go to the Parent Portal: https://shop.icasassessments.com/pages/pps

2. Enter our school’s access code – FKS095

3. Enter your child’s details, select the tests you would like to purchase, then proceed to payment.

Registration and payment close on 29 July 2024.

After payment is made via the Parent Payment System you will receive an order confirmation email, please keep this for your records. ICAS assessments will be run before school (approximately 7:45 AM) over a number of days in Term 3.
